Slovenia away (1 Viewer)

[CJ_covblaze]

Ljubljana is probably the nicest place I've been. Not just for football either. Atmosphere's good, everyone's behaving themselves, baking hot and it's cheap as chips. Recommend it to everyone for a city break.

Final game of a long season today. 72 games in 10 countries. 20,000 miles. 70 teams. 41 grounds. 182 goals. Seen some garbage but some crackers too. if you've got 2 mins check out my blog. https://cjcovblaze.wordpress.com/2015/06/06/my-2014-15-football-season/

cheap as chips

Considering going to see GB in the ice hockey worlds next year in Zagreb for the same reason. Could do a full week for the cost of a weekend in London for an England game at Wembley!

Played well and totally dominated for 35 mins and then one mistake and we have gone a bit to pot.

No way we should be losing this.

Agreed. Disappointing goal to concede, but the top side.

Hopefully we will turn it around 2nd half.

I think my TV's playing up, I can't hear the Slovenians any more.

 

[ccfc92]

Fantastic goal to score, now let's get at 'em England!!!

 

[Nick]

Take a bow

 

[ccfc92]

Fantastic!!!!!!!!! :claping hands:

Apparently he hasn't scored for England before today?

 

[Nick]

Dirty twat should have been sent then

 

[ccfc92]

Dirty twat should have been sent then

If it was an England player, guaranteed sending off?

Worse than Mifsud's against West Brom, that's for sure.

 

[Macca]

To be fair they have been better today, still light years away from being contenders mind

Agreed, but for the last 10 or so years, England have drawn these types of games. Progress IS being made....

Oh for fu.......

 

[Nick]

Christ, the announcer loves talking.

 

[Nick]

Get in! Good finish that

 

[Otis]

Oh for fu.......

Unbelievable. There has only been one team in this. England should be at least 3 goals clear and I may be wrong, but isn't that 2 shots, 2 goals for them?

 

[ccfc92]

Yesssssssss!!!!

 

[ccfc92]

Very good result that. Well played lads :claping hands:

 

[Juggernaut]

Quite a good game and in patches quite a good performance. Wilshere's second goal was brilliant all round, lovely touch by Lallana who changed the game for us. He's a supremely talented footballer, has the ability to dribble and see a pass which is a rarity in this country.

Probably the first time they have got me off my seat in a decade! Good result

The GF had a go at me 3 times for going mad

Had a few quid on Eng to win at 1-0 down

Yes, we played well and there was no way Slovenia deserved a point from the game.

 

[Macca]

My criticism of England is usually how dull the games are. FairPlay got the desired result and entertained

 

[ccfc92]

Sorry Otis, have to disagree. It was very refreshing to see one of these underdog teams challenge us.

Normally it's sit back and keep the score down. So I have to say fair play to Slovenia, and unlucky.

I appreciate they only had 2 or so shots on goal, and scored them, but at least they challenged us and gave us a game, unlike many "smaller" teams.

I thought they tried very hard, but offered very little myself.

A draw would have been unfair on England I think.

 

[Grendel]

The Fifa rankings have them only two places higher than Equotorial Gunea. It always should be a formality.

 

[Macca]

Though we have scraped points from dire performances in the past

I'm not disagreeing England didn't deserve the win, but then I am, I don't know :laugh:

Just saying normally Joe Hart might as well be doing one of his Head and Shoulders adverts, whereas England were made to work for the win, and it was refreshing to see a team like Slovakia to challenge us, rather than sit back and defend for 90 mins

You can laugh, but they are forced to be reckoned with on their own patch.

You write off Equatorial Guinea at your own peril!!!

 

[Covstu]

We always looked a threat albeit lacked a it of cutting edge upfront. Happy with the result, nice to see England battle at games like this

 

[CJ_covblaze]

Not the best first half but what a second. Never in doubt!
